Amidst the wide-open wheat fields of North Dakota, three sisters are reshaping what it means to farm and feed a family. Meet 3 Farm Daughters, a women owned venture that marries the deep traditions of agriculture with a mission to create healthier foods for modern lifestyles. They're about family, grit, and the determination to make a difference—one bag of pasta at a time.
Growing Up on the Family Farm
Grace, Mollie, and Annie Sproule grew up in a home where farming wasn’t just a job; it was a way of life. Their days started early, joining their parents in the fields to plant, nurture, and harvest wheat. There was a rhythm to the seasons—planting in spring, harvesting in fall, and preparing the land for winter. It was hard work, but it was also fulfilling.
The sisters remember their childhood fondly, filled with memories of golden fields, and summer sunsets. Farming wasn’t just in their blood; it was the foundation of their identity. The values of perseverance, hard work, and a deep respect for the land were instilled in them from a young age.
The Challenge of Finding Healthier Foods
As the Sproule sisters grew up, left home, and started families of their own, they found themselves facing a common struggle: finding foods that were nutritious, convenient, and good for their families. Pasta and baked goods were family staples, but they wanted options that delivered more nutrients without compromising on taste. They knew they weren’t alone in this search, and they felt a pull to do something about it.
Turning Wheat into Something New
With the same determination they learned on the farm, the sisters decided to transform the very wheat they had grown up cultivating. In 2020, they launched 3 Farm Daughters - a way to reconnect with their roots while creating something truly meaningful.
Their vision was simple: use the best ingredients to make food that’s both delicious and nutritious. The Sproules started with what they knew best—their family’s wheat—using a special variety called GoodWheat™. Developed through non-GMO breeding techniques, this wheat has more fiber and protein and less gluten than traditional varieties. It was exactly what they needed to create a better kind of pasta and baked goods.
Building a Brand Around Family Values
3 Farm Daughters quickly became known for its line of pasta and baking mixes, offering a range of options from spaghetti and rotini to pancake and brownie mixes. Each product reflects the sisters’ commitment to quality and nutrition. They didn’t want to just create healthier food; they wanted it to be something families would actually enjoy eating.
The brand’s ethos is rooted in family values—integrity, authenticity, and transparency. Each product can be traced back to the very fields where it was grown. This connection to the source is a promise to customers that they’re getting real food from real people who care.
A New Kind of Sustainability
While creating healthier food is central to their mission, the sisters also prioritize sustainability in everything they do. Their farming methods rely on regenerative agriculture, a practice focused on restoring soil health, conserving water, and improving biodiversity. It’s an approach that not only benefits the land but also ensures that it remains productive for future generations.
The Sproules are committed to reducing their environmental impact at every step, from the fields to the packaging. By minimizing waste, using cover crops, and employing no-till techniques, they’re setting an example for sustainable farming that goes beyond buzzwords.
Breaking Barriers in Agriculture
Being a women-owned business in the male-dominated world of agriculture hasn’t been easy, but the Sproule sisters have never been ones to back down from a challenge. They’ve used their experiences to inspire other women to pursue roles in farming, food production, and entrepreneurship. They’ve shown that innovation and leadership don’t have to follow a traditional path; they just need the right foundation and a lot of hard work.
Connecting Consumers to the Land
One of the most compelling aspects of 3 Farm Daughters is its commitment to farm-to-table transparency. Every package of pasta and baking mix offers a direct connection to the very fields where the wheat was grown, bringing a rare level of authenticity and traceability to an industry often dominated by mass production. For the Sproules, it’s the way food should be: honest, traceable, and rooted in the land.
The success of 3 Farm Daughters represents a vision for the future of food. By merging traditional agriculture with modern nutritional needs, the 3 Farm Daughters are setting the stage for a new era of conscious consumption—one that invites consumers to know not only what’s in their food, but also where it comes from.
